Continued From Last Week. First,municipalities should give more attention to the streets and alleys that traverse Negro settlements. In almost every town in the South there are settlements, known by such names as "New Africa," "Haiti," "Log Town," "Smoky Hollow," or "Smoky Hill," exclusively inhabited by Negroes. These settlements are often outside of the corporate limits. The houses are built along narrow,croaked,and dirty lanes,and the community is with out sanitary regulation or oversight. These quarters should be brought under municipal control, the lanes widened into streets and cleaned,and provision made to guard against the opening of similar ones in the future. In the next place,property owners should build better houses for the Negroes to live in. The weakness in the civilization of the Negroes is most pronounced in their family life.But improvements in this respect is not possible without an improvement in the character and the comforts of the houses they live in.Bad houses breed bad people and bad neighborhoods. There is no more distinctive form of crime than the building and renting of houses unfit for human habitation. Scarcely second in importance to in house architecture is the need among Negroes of more time to spend with their families. Employers of Negro labor should be less exacting in the number of hours required for day's work.Many domes tie servants now work from six in the morning nntil nine and ten o'clock at night.The Southern habit of keeping open shopping places until late at night encourages late suppers.retains cooks, butlers, and nurses until bedtime, and robs them of all home life. If the merchants would close their shops at six o'clock,as is the custom in the North.the welfare of both races would be greatly promoted. Again,a revolution is needed in the character of the Negroe's religion. At present it is too largely an affair of emotions. He needs to be taught that the religious life is something to grow into by the perfection of personality,and not to be jumped into or sweated into at oamp-meetings.The theological seminaries and the graduate preachers should assume the task of grafting upon the religion of the Negro that much sanity at least. A reform is at much needed in the methods and aims of Negro education. Up to the present Negro education has shared with that of the white man the fault of being top-heavy. Colleges and universities have developed out of proposition to, and at the expense of, common schools. Then, the kind of education afforded the Negro has not been fitted to his capacities and needs. He has been made to pursue courses of study parallel to those for the whites, as though the individuals of both races had ta fill the same positions in life. Much of the Negroe's education has had nothing to do with his real life-work. It has only made him discontented and disinclined to unfold his arms. The survival of the Negroes in the race for existence depends upon their retaining possession of the few brerd winning occupations now open to them. But instead of better qualifying themselves for these occupations they have been poring over dead languages and working problems in mathematics. In the mean time the Chinaman and the steam laundry have abolished the Negro's wash tub, trained white "tonsorial artists" have taken away his barber chair, and skilled painters and plasterers and mechanics have taken away his paint brushes and tool chests. Every year the number of occupations open to him become fewer because of his lack of progress in them. Unless a radical change takes place to be continued. 342 N.Main St. in the scope of his education, so that he may learn better how to do his worh,a tide of white immigration will set in and force him out of his stronghold,domestic service, and limit him to the farm. Negro's Rights From the Standpoint of a Colored man. By Hon.S.W.Lea. Who made the Negro a citizen of the United States? This is a question which should not be forgotten. The fact is this, the Negroes did not come to this country of his own choice. He was brought here against his will and enslaved. The amendment which made him a citizen of the United State was adopted in 1868. Did the Negio himself insert the amendment in the Federal constitution? Why was citizenship ever conferred upon him? Lincoln declared that the Union could never be maintained, half free and half slave. Certainly the men who labored day and night to have the government recognize the Negro as a citizen, saw in the capacity to measure up to the demands required for citizenship under it. Those men of today who are trying to convince their fellow man in all sections of this country, that the Negro is unworthy of citizenship are simply to prejudice to believe the evidence. Can the government confer red citizenship on the Negro maintain it? The supreme court has power to condemn the action of those states in the rights of citizens are abridged. Mr. Jerome Dowd in his views upon the Negro, said the Negro had corrupted politics and limited statesmanship to the mere question of race supremecy, whatever corruption of politics or limitation of statesmanship there may be the Southern white man has made them so. In a government by representation, equality is essential, a vote cast in Kansas should have the same force as one cast in Arkansas, and vice versa. Some of the Southern states have taken the ballot away for the Negro, and it is urged that they should not be allowed the same representation in the national house or the electorirlcollege as heretofore; this is not only good logic, but justice; if the Sodthern Negro is not to allowed to vote on the theory that his vote fs not intelligent, then his representation should cease, certainly his incapacity cannot clothe his white neighbor's vote with five times the potency and weight of a Northern vote. It ought to be the law that states who disfranchis a large mass of their voters, should not be allowed to count these cast off votes in making up their congressional districts, yet the South does this. A Useful song. "What shall I sing, Clarence?" "Sing that lovely old-time song, 'Lorena.' "Oh, I see; you're fixing to get a good long nap."—Chicago Record. Allow me epace to say a few words in answer to the article of Mr.Jerome Dowd's Paths of Hope for the Negro,'which appeared in the last issue of your paper. It is not too late in the day or never will it be to discuss whether it would have been better had the Negro never been brought into the Southern states. The Negro, captured like a wild beast, chained and brought to the Southern states and forced by the lash, to toil like beasts, has liquidated all the expense of that "most expensive war of modern times," and made the Southern states what they are. Pay to the ex-slaves 50 cents for each day they were in bondage and the total would almost bankrupt the South. The Negro in the South has been an imitator of his recent masters,the white man,and if they are corrupt in politics or otheawise he has simply followed the lead o the whites.If the South has lagged behind in education,it was simply from indolence and shiftlessness. Ever since the bonds of slavery were rivited in the South,the Negro has been held back and denied all opportunity of advancement. A law was passed emphatically p. ohsbiting any one to teach him, if the Negro is ignorant, then who is to blame?On the charts of illiter acy and crime,the South is represented by an immense black spot, but it is victim to the cruelty,brutality and henious crimes perpetrated daily by the universal reckoned,superior race. The wrath of thousaud worlds as this, can never pay for the rivers of innocent blood drand to satisfy the thirst of those human octopases. Let the South spend millions of dollars and generations of earnest labor and they will liquidate the debt they owe for the wanton waste of innocent blood which cries aloud for vengeance,only when they have gone the beaten read that all must soon travel.For low standard of living, crimes and every other dograda-tion,consult records or interrogate eye witnesses and see if the Negro is at fault.Pick up a newspaper at any time and you can read of the murder of parents,brothers,sisters for gold,the foundation of all evils exploded shock the whole world and therein you can see the festering hot bed of crime,fathered by that great "superior" white man. I fervently long for the time COLORED MAN BURNED AT THE STAKE IN KANSAS Meets a Horrible Death at the Hands of a Mob in Leavenworth, Kansas. His Last Words Were That He Was Innocent. "The sheriff of Leavenworth is either a Dispiseable Scoundrel or a Despiseable Coward." GOv.W.E SANLEy. Sheriff to Blame. Fred Alexander;a Colored boy, was burned at the stake in Leaven worth,Tuesday afternoon in broad open day light. He died protesting his innocence. No attempt was made to conceal the identity of the executioners. Although a jail was broken in,the cowardly sheriff offered not the leas resistance. Every thing was prearranged The sheriff had pledged his word to have his prisoner returned to Leav enworth from Lansin,where he had sent him for safe keeping, and he did it. When he half way refused to throw the jail open to the mob. sledges and cold chisels were 'found' at hand.cell keys were "found" on top of the sheriff's desk. When after wards the mob and their victim moved from the jail to the spot at which they were to burn him,spades,steel rails,picks,cord wood,etc was athand.Most frightful of all these,however,was the "accidental" arrival of a large coil oil wagon on the scene and from which 22 gallons were drawn. "Confess" was demanded. "I have nothing to confess" was when the best percentage of the crime which the South boasts of will be completely obliterated; and I can pierce in the distant future far enough to see that cannot be far off. I am aware that the crimes of one race provokes counter crimes in the other, but I assure you the rotten apple is on the other side of the fenc. The refinement, intellect, manners, dress is just as perfect in the Negro, as the white.

"Mr.Forbes,if that is your name said Alexander," "I never touched your girl.I tell you another man did it,and you men will run up against him some day.You are going o kill me any how and I would onfess if I had did it.I never did it.They told me at the penitentia ry that if I would own up the law could only lock me up for life,and they told me I would be safe there if I confessed.I don't want to die, and if I could have confessed I would have stayed in Lansing and not had to die.But,men,I did not do it." On the way with the prisoner,the sheriff spied some Colored men with guns,he ordered tha t they be disarmed,which was done. Alexander was chained to an up right steel rail and 25 gallons of coal oil poured over him,a match applied and he was soon a mass of flames.So Kansas was disgraced. vulgar laguage,both are alike.

Colored Men Guard Jail in Th is City To Prevent Lynching. ‘There was a bit ofexcitement in this eity among the Colored people last Monday.!¢ was learned that a gang of white ruffians were form- ing a mob for the purpose of lynch —ing young Wm Snelly, the colored boy who sh ot a white fellow, Cash Johnson, who was trying to kill him with a knife. The news of the form- ation of the mob started about six oclock,and spread like wild fire. Every Colored man who could be found was informed by a commitee and each in turn told every other Colored man whom he met and by eight oclock Colord men, armed with ehot guns,pistels,knives,clubs and every other imaginable instru ment of distruction was formed, a hasty, but conservative cnsultation had,and an organization the leaders selected and the leaders in turn appointed pickets and guards and stationed them,all being in readiness,this large,but ordeily, body of determined men, proceeded to aselected spot,in close, proximity of the city building where Snelly wasconfined,every man determin- ed that ifan attempt at lynching was made, that their would be ‘a hot timein the old town that night.” So quietly had they made their preparations,that passers by observed nothing unusual. Ther, was 300 black men standing guar¢ over the safety ofone. Black mer from all parrs of the city were on hand.The jail was guarded till day when the watchers dispersed aud went to thoiz various occupations and homes just as quietly as_ they had formed.So quie$ were they that the_reporters of none of the daily * papers knew any thing of it.Guard was kept every night. The would- be lynchers got winds of the mat ter and have decided to iet the law take its cours. So ends the matter. One thing that this city is con spictious for is,the abscence of any Colored men working on its streets Whats the trouble, Are none of qualified to clean streets? ‘Yhe Negro’s friend has dwindled toa Smith & Wesson pistol, a Re peating Rifle,50 rounds of ammu nition for each,a good,strong nerve, alesson in good marksmanehip, and then use.Any Negro without this friend is foolish.

During the recent campaign no class of Voters were more loyal to Hon.Chestcr I.Long.to re-lect him to congress, in this 7th district thair were the colord voters,while we still have much credit to bestow on the eloquent Chester, Yet,we as part of his constituency,and men of colox would like to hear from him on the re-apportionment Measure which is now before the National house of Representatives. very Colored ‘man,rerardless of what part of this Union residing,demands and is in- terestid in haring the representat- ion of the Southern states, who have So illegally disfranchised colored yoters theirin,reduced. Realizing that the disfranchisement of the Colord men in those states weakens the national political power of the whole xegro race in Amerca,we, as part of that negre race,would like to know,Does our representative from the 7th.district favor such reduction. Itisquite singulary that with a republican majority in the national house, only two dare to speak for tne right. This is not ask ed simply because it concerns the black man most,but because it is right.To reduce the representation of those Southern states that have disfranchised the Negro is right.

LIEUT. MABEL C,. HUNT, ee ee ky Sea oe ee Kuows How to Keep Her Corps in Good Health. Ogden, Utah, Jan. 12, 1901.—(Spe- elal.)—The Pacific Coast Division of the Salvation Army, whose noble work in the interests of fallen humanity has done so much for this western country, has its headquarters in this city. One of the brightest and most enthusiastic workers is Lieut. Miss Mabel Clarice Hunt. Everyone knows how these de- voted people parade the streets day or night, exposing themselves to all kinds of weather, that no opportunity may ‘de lost of rescuing some poor unfortu- nate from sin and suffering. In some cases, their recklessness in thus expos- ing themselves has been commented upon as almost suicidal. Their answer to such criticisms invariably is their unfailing faith in the Divine injunc- tion to “do right and fear not.” Lieut, Hunt explains one of the means she employs to keep her “Soldiers” in good health, as follows: “I have found Dodd's Kidney Pills of great value in cases of Kidney and Liver Trouble and Diseases contracted from severe colds. Several of our lads and lassies have been repeatedly ez- posed to cold weather and rain, and have spoken for hours out of doors, often with wet feet and chilled to the marrow, As a consequence of this ex- posure, Pulmonary ‘Trouble, Rheu- matism and Kidney Disorders often en- sue, In such cases I always advise Dodd's Kidney Pills, i.

ROSSMAN PODA ELDER First Presbyterian Church of Greensboro, Ga., and Its Pastor and Elder. The day was when men of prominence hesitated to give their testimonials to proprietary medicines for publication. This remains true today of most proprietary medicines. But Peruna has become so justly famous, its merits are known to so many people of high and low stations, that no one hesitates to see his name in print recommending Peruna. The highest men in our nation have given Peruna a strong endorsement. Men representing all classes and stations are equally represented. A dignified representative of the Presbyterian church in the person of Rev. E. G. Smith does not hesitate to state publicly that he has used Peruna in his family and found it cured when other remedies failed. In this statement the Rev. Smith is supported by an elder in his church. Rev. E. G. Smith, pastor of the Presbyterian church of Greensboro, Ga., writes: after taking two bottles of Peruna to trouble almost entirely disappears. For this special malady I consider well nigh a specific. As a tonic weak and worn out people it has few no equals."—Rew. E. G. Smith. Mr. M. J. Rossman, a prominent manch of Greensboro, Ga., and an elder in the Presbyterian church of the place, has used Peruna, in a letter to The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, Ohio, writes as follows: "For a long time I was troubled by catarrh of the kidneys and tried many remedies, all of which gave no relief. Peruna was recommended me by several friends, and after using a few bottles I am pleased to say to the long looked for relief was four and I am now enjoying better heat than I have for years, and can heart recommend Peruna to all similarly flicted. It is certainly a grand use."—M. J. Rossman. If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of "Having used Peruna in my family for some time it gives me pleasure to testify to its true worth. My little boy seven years of age had been suffering for some time with catarrh of the lower bowels. Other remedies had failed, but No matter how pleasant your surroundings, health, good health, is the foundation for enjoyment. Bowel trouble causes more aches and pains than all other diseases together, and when you get a good dose of bilious bile coursing through the blood life's a hell on earth. Millions of people are doctoring for chronic ailments that started with bad bowels, and they will never get better till the bowels are right. You know how it is—you neglect—get irregular—first suffer with a slight headache—bad taste in the mouth mornings, and general "all gone" feeling during the day—keep on going from bad to worse until the suffering becomes awful, life loses its charms, and there is many a one that has been driven to suicidal relief.
